Building at nattai ponds. The house is modified freshwater 264 . We have enclosed the alfresco and added a third bathroom and third garage Wow your house is huge!!! I'm so jealous haha. Looks great on the plans but even better with the frames up. When do you expect to be in by? I have friends building over at nattai but they went with sekisui. Don't think they have started their house yet. Re: Building in the Southern Highlands 30Aug 20, 2015 9:02 pm Thankyou . I am moving my mum an dad in with me hence the big house...we will all still have our own space. Not sure about a finish date....its been 16 months so far in the making. Not the fault of gj though unfortunately land was held up in council and land titles. Gj have been awesome and their customer service is amazing ... My son just built a house with a split and it looks amazing. I love your design. Have you been given an estimated finish time.... Re: Building in the Southern Highlands 31Aug 20, 2015 9:13 pm Yes it certainly isn't a quick process. We have just clicked over a year. We were lucky to get the last block at darraby that got registered December last year. Although it's far flat, still glad we did it. There is not much in the way of affordable land ( well land we can afford) in town. I would have to agree how great their customer service is, they have really gone above and beyond to help us out. The split would have to be my favourite thing, so I'm hoping it looks awesome. I wished we could of has a bit bigger house with 3 kids running around but being our first home we have to start somewhere. I did recieve a 5 day extension letter last month and it said mid march. Re: Building in the Southern Highlands 32Aug 20, 2015 9:20 pm Well sounds like your home will be beautiful. I keep telling myself it will be worth the wait. Your home is a perfect size for 3 kids and you must be so proud that it's all finally coming together now. I am moving from Wollongong and we only get to see it once every one to two weeks which is really hard and the excitement kills me.... We have gone crazy with monument as well lol.....looks good Re: Building in the Southern Highlands 33Aug 20, 2015 10:02 pm Kezham - wow, looks huge with the frame up. Congrats!

So ask… 1 5030 Hey guys building a new place through a volume builder and just wondering if i should complain to the site supervisor as we just had plasterboard installed. Looks like… 0 11607 |
